TAMRON Camera Lens 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) [Sony E]

◆Despite being equipped with a VC image stabilization mechanism, it is the smallest and lightest in its class, with a length of 156.5mm and a weight of 855g
Like the original Model A056, the 70-180mm F2.8 G2 is thoroughly designed to be compact and lightweight.
The telephoto focal length is set to 180mm, and a variable-length zoom mechanism is adopted, allowing the lens to achieve a constant aperture of F2.8 and VC image stabilization.
It has the smallest and lightest size in its class (filter diameter φ67mm, maximum diameter φ83mm, length 156.5mm (at 70mm), weight 855g).
This incredible mobility means that the lens is well-balanced with the camera body, allowing you to enjoy large-aperture telephoto zoom photography with ease.

◆Completely new optical design delivers uncompromising optical performance across the entire 70-180mm zoom range
The lens consists of 20 elements in 15 groups.
The optical design has been completely redesigned, and special glass lenses (1 XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens, 1 hybrid aspherical lens,
LD (Low Dispersion) lenses (3 pieces), GM (Glass Molded Aspheric) lenses (2 pieces)
It efficiently suppresses chromatic aberration and other aberrations, delivering uncompromising high resolution performance across the entire zoom range.
In addition, the adoption of BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating, which suppresses the occurrence of ghosting and flare,
Even in backlit conditions, it is possible to capture the details of the subject in exquisite detail, resulting in an image with an overwhelming sense of openness and clarity.
It also features the beautiful and soft bokeh that is unique to the large F2.8 aperture.

◆ Equipped with VXD that realizes high-speed and high-precision AF, and greatly improved tracking of moving subjects
The 70-180mm F2.8 G2 is equipped with the VXD linear motor focus mechanism, which was first installed in the original Model A056.
While maintaining the highest level of speed and precision in Tamron's history,
The ability to track moving objects such as sports and vehicles, which are often photographed with telephoto zoom lenses, has been further improved.
Not only can you take still images, but you won't miss any decisive moments when shooting videos either.
In addition, compared to conventional drive systems, linear motors are less susceptible to vibration during AF drive and are quieter,
It is also ideal for still image and video shooting in environments where silence is required.

Equipped with Tamron's unique VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism
The 70-180mm F2.8 G2 is newly equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism.
It effectively suppresses camera shake that tends to occur when shooting at telephoto ranges, moving subjects, or close-ups, enabling stable shooting.
It also dramatically improves the freedom of handheld shooting by suppressing the camera shake that tends to occur when shooting in low-light conditions, such as dimly lit rooms or night scenes.
In addition, by utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology, correction effects that take video shooting into consideration are achieved at focal lengths of 100mm or less.

Minimum shooting distance: 0.3m at wide-angle end, 0.85m at telephoto end
By optimizing the optical design, we have succeeded in reducing the minimum shooting distance at the wide-angle end from 0.85m (on the original Model A056) to 0.3m.
This allows you to get one step closer to your subject and take advantage of the soft, beautiful bokeh.
In addition, the maximum shooting magnification is an excellent 1:2.6, allowing you to enjoy the unique and impressive image creation that only this lens can provide.
